Chapter 172 Staying in a small hotel to borrow a tiger skin
Rongzhen didn't go far.
The streets were still too dangerous at night, so in order to avoid being besieged or encountering some tough guy, she had already picked out a nearby hotel online.
The hotel was in a remote location and had old decoration, but it was not far from the urban village, making it a perfect place for her to stay temporarily.
The online reviews are all negative, with a few insignificant positive reviews interspersed here and there.
The negative reviews naturally talked about the hotel's dirtiness and the poor quality of the service staff. They even refused to receive any guests, rolled their eyes at them, and had a bad attitude.
It's a good review. Those who understand the weirdness will understand it when they see it.
Yes, weird.
The hotel Rongzhen was going to specialized in spooky business. Ordinary people would not be able to get a good reception there. They would be lucky if they were not received.
It’s a pity that ordinary people don’t understand.
The hotel is located at the innermost alley three streets away. The winding, deep and dark alley seems to have no end. Even monsters walking in it can't help but be alert, let alone ordinary people.
I don't know how those who leave bad reviews find this kind of place.
If Rongzhen hadn't searched for it online, she wouldn't have known there was such a great place near the urban village.
It's perfect for another game of playing the dark under the lamp.
Zhao Simo would probably come to the old building to find her. After all, he knew clearly that this was where her lair was.
But he would never have thought that she did not return to the old building, but was hiding near the old building.
Hehe, Rongzhen decided to stay in the hotel here for the next two nights, and then go out to look for a house in disguise during the day. After finding a house, it would be best to work hard to find a job.
This would make it easier for her to blend into the crowd, like a drop of water into the sea, and disappear from Zhao Simo's sight.
Just make sure he can't find it.
Rongzhen had a beautiful imagination. With a smile on her face, she walked through the deep alley and easily found the shabby hotel.
The conditions do seem a bit poor, but precisely because the conditions are so poor and backward, there are no surveillance equipment installed inside or at the door.
Rong Zhen was very satisfied with this. She immediately pushed the door open and asked, "Hello, is there any room available?"
In the small lobby, a head with green dyed hair was snoring on the chipped desk. Hearing the noise, he looked up, wiped the saliva from his mouth, and replied with a pair of swollen frog eyes: "We don't accept ordinary people here. Go out, turn right, and there's a big hotel on the street ahead."
After saying this, thinking that Rongzhen couldn't catch it, his slender tongue shot out from his mouth at an extremely fast speed and swept away a fried fly on the plate on the table.
Rongzhen: ...Respect biodiversity and don’t make a fuss.
My tofu!
Rong Zhen endured the physical discomfort and bared her two cat teeth: "Do you think I can be an ordinary person?"
If this is not proof enough, what about the murderous aura that has seen blood?
The green frog man was immediately hit in the face by him and said in a shy and polite manner, "Okay, okay, the main thing is that we are a small business here. If something goes wrong while serving ordinary people and we get targeted by those cops from the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, it would be more trouble than it's worth, right? I hope you will forgive me. I will give you an extra breakfast. How many days do you plan to stay?"
Rongzhen thought of the fried flies he had just eaten and immediately refused breakfast.
"How much does it cost to stay for two days?"
"As long as it's something valuable, you can give me anything."
If you don't give it to me, you will have to stay here and work to pay off your debts unless you can leave this hotel on your own.
Rongzhen needed to keep a low profile at this time. He had money and things in his hands, so there was no need for him to default on his debts.
What he said is that the scope is too broad, which makes it easy for people to have difficulty making a choice.
Finally, she gave him a small pearl that she had robbed from the monster.
It was a clam monster that was supposed to live in the river outside the city, but not only did it run into the city due to dehydration, it also dared to rob her cat without knowing how to live.
Cats eat fish and sometimes don’t mind clam meat, so they can be considered natural enemies. But how dare a clam rob a cat?
The opposite of Tiangang!
It is only natural that it was snatched back.
When Rongzhen tried to snatch the thing away, the guy started crying, and his tears fell to the ground and turned into pearls. The two monsters were stunned at that moment.
Rong Zhen was stunned because she hadn't expected the clam monster to weep pearls. Isn't this a mermaid-only skill? Could it be that this clam actually possessed mermaid blood?
The monster Bangbang was also quite shocked. If she knew that she could cry pearls, she would not have risked her life to rob just to avoid starvation.
In the end, Rongzhen took away all the pearls that were cried out and spared the clam monster's life.
The pearl she gave away now was the smallest one in the bunch, and she was reluctant to give away the others.
The green frog held it in his hand and examined it against the light, commenting, "A natural, top-quality pearl, with a faint hint of supernatural energy. It's enough to cover two days' lodging and food expenses."
Rongzhen declined the food here, she only asked for a clean and safe room.
So the Green Frog arranged a guest room for her in the corner upstairs.
After getting the key, Rongzhen went upstairs and, in front of everyone who was either peeping or looking at her, turned herself into a clothed standing cat, with her fangs and claws exposed.
Those who were looking at him immediately retreated with disgust.
As for the remaining part, regardless of whether the hotel allows guests to fight among themselves, even if the hotel does not care, as long as they dare to offend her, Rongzhen doesn't mind fighting back.
Look what she found. In addition to all her favorite snacks, the small bag she brought with her also contained two familiar little buttons hidden inside.
One was the one that Zhao Simo had used to subdue the strange loom.
The other one was the one he threw over Young-jin's head to protect her when he was fighting the guinea pig.
One is mainly for attack, and the other is mainly for defense. With the two of them, Rong Zhen's safety is guaranteed. So what is she afraid of? At most, she can just treat it as training her actual combat ability.
She learned a lot during the fight in the first half of the night.
Nothing helps a cat grow better than fighting.
When I see them, I inevitably think of Zhao Simo.
Maybe he thought she would run away secretly, so he specially prepared a snack bag for her and secretly stuffed these two little things into the bottom of her bag.
Youngjin transformed back into a cat, hiding under the pile of clothes and refusing to think about it anymore.
Anyway, I've already escaped, so there's no point in thinking about anything. I might as well think about what kind of house to find tomorrow and what kind of job to find the day after tomorrow.
Now that she is no longer short of money, she can find a better house that will not attract attention but will not put herself in a difficult position. She can also find an easier job that pays less.
As for what to do if you lack cultivation resources in the future...
In fact, Rong Zhen really wanted to take over the protagonist's original crystal mine, but unfortunately it had fallen into the hands of the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, and it would probably be difficult to pick it up again.
If there is really no other option, you can only spend money to buy it, or wait for the bad luck to take effect, attracting monsters to rob you and then rob you back.
If you think about it, this is really a way to get rich at no cost.
Rongzhen fell asleep while thinking, and didn't even notice that someone was standing quietly at the head of her bed. She just turned over when her belly was rubbed and snored in her sleep.
After Zhao Simo helped her rub her belly, he took out the defense button that was put back into the small bag, activated it to cover the entire room, and then walked out.
A ghost that just reached the outside of the room and was about to scratch the door:... Hey, brother, do you believe this is a misunderstanding?
Zhao Simo casually sent out a thunderous move, and after a slight crackling sound, a piece of burnt wood with black smoke coming out of its mouth was left at the scene.
Mu Tou was still trying to argue: "What a misunderstanding!"
Zhao Simo stepped on it and left. When he went downstairs, the green frog bowed and nodded to see him off: "Have a safe trip, big boss. Come visit often."
Bullshit, once you leave, don’t come back.
Their temple is too small to accommodate this huge Buddha.
Zhao Simo ignored him and left, and the green frog breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid of the big guys showing off, I'm just afraid of them causing trouble.
Zhao Simo didn't have time to look for a small hotel that was run honestly. Even if the hotel served weird people, they had paid taxes honestly.
He hurried back to the Abnormal Affairs Bureau, but instead of going directly to the apartment building at the back, he went to the director's office in the front office building, which was rare.
Sure enough, the lights inside were still on. An old man with gray hair and a vigorous look was writing something at a desk, looking very serious.
Zhao Simo knocked on the unlocked door and walked in, sitting on the guest chair and waiting for her to finish.
Later, the old man finally stopped writing, rubbed his eyes, looked up and asked: "Why are you here? Didn't you bring your baby cat?" As he said this, he leaned over to look behind him.
Obviously, she had heard about Zhao Simo becoming a cat slave.
Zhao Simo leaned back in his chair and said helplessly, "Don't look for her anymore. She didn't come. Don't you see what time it is now? Even if you have half of my uncle's demon blood, you are still a mixed-blood with more human tendencies. Whether it's lifespan or health, you can't withstand such torment."
The old man smiled nonchalantly, "I can't help it. I have to do my job. Now that I'm in this position, if I don't worry about it, who will?"
"Let's not talk about me for now. What brings you here this time?"
No one comes to the temple for no reason. In the past, Zhao Simo was always on missions. Recently, he got a cat and became a stay-at-home, rarely coming to the office building.
Now that he has come here specially, you know something is wrong without having to think about it.
Zhao Simo coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and stated his intention seriously: "I heard that you collected a beautiful tiger skin in your early years. Can you lend it to me?"
"Huh? Why do you want to borrow that thing? It can help people and monsters disguise themselves as tigers, but it has no other use..." The old man suddenly realized something as he spoke, and waved his hands while laughing.
"Go ahead, take it. Young people are full of ideas and tricks. Be careful not to get the opposite result. It's best to treat them sincerely and exchange sincerity for sincerity."
The old man kept talking to him as usual.
Zhao Simo listened with a look of surprise on his face.
He wanted to exchange his sincerity for others', but the other party was prejudiced and refused to accept his sincerity.
Then he had no choice but to find another way, what else could he do.
Just let it go?
impossible!
Zhao Simo got what he wanted and was about to leave when he heard the old man asking him about the strange gathering in the east of the city last time.
It is known that the heavyweight monster that appeared that day was Dabai, who suddenly mutated into a Yuan-devouring Beast. He has been taken in by their Abnormal Affairs Bureau, so there is no need to worry about him anymore.
However, the trigger that caused so many strange gatherings at that time has not yet been identified.
Therefore, the old man wanted to hear what Zhao Simo had to say.
After all, he said that day that he suspected this might be a setup targeting him, and he also went to the scene in person, so he would probably find some relevant information.
Zhao Simo didn't mention the matter of the destiny he sensed. He only said, "I have handed this matter over to Xiao Zhou and Xiao Wang. If you want to know the truth, why not send someone to investigate Wang Qingqing in this incident? There might be some unexpected gains. I don't know the details."
